is it valid?
no

WVO?
there is chatter that the government wants to charge an estimated "road use" tax on anyone that runs WVO on Canadian roadways.

the government is protecting big (auto) business, it has NEVER been for the Canadian citizen.

why is there a quadillion different taxes on the stuff we need and want? ever notice ANYTHING you like to do has a tax (license, permit) on it?
do you remember when you could go fishing with a stick and a line and a worm? not any more. taxed
boating? taxed
hunting? taxed
renovating? taxed
soon we will be paying a tax for the air we breath...hold on...we do!

unless you are big business or a religion, you pay up the gazoo to exlist.

and now this "soil" BS?! is that really valid? i think ships and zebra mussels are a much bigger issue....look at lake simcoe..

all this makes me worry about how far veggie oil systems/home made fuel will go in the future, even tho it's great for the environment/carbon neutral, i'm sure the gov't will find some stupid reason to ban it....

like you said, we'll see....
